Electrical system in one used for the treatment and care of sick people

building

The invention relates to an electrical system according to the preamble of claim 1.

For the purposes of the invention, bed room is at least one

609847/0213

A room with a bed for the sick and if it is assigned ancillary rooms, such as a bathroom, toilet or the like, which belong exclusively to the bed area in question and from there without opening the one leading into the hallway or corridor Door can be entered, understood this bed room including the adjoining rooms exclusively assigned to it.

In such bed rooms there is generally a relative large number of electrical consumers such as room lighting, reading light, twilight lighting, bathroom lighting, Toilet lighting, hall lighting in the door area, sockets and the like. So far, the electrical connection lines for these consumers from distributors located outside the bed room, such as marshalling distributors, sub-distributors, Floor distributors branched off and normally secured at the floor distributors. This requires a comprehensive one Cabling from these distributors to the bed rooms with long cable runs. In addition, this species of installation relatively large floor distributions and large Maneuvering or sub-distributors are required, the latter usually in the false ceilings of the corridors for reasons of space are built in. In the event of a malfunction in a bed room, the associated fuse had to be installed in the floor distributors switched off or switched itself off. If also in neighboring rooms on the same fused circuit Consumers are connected, they are then also switched off. Also because of the large number of terminal points in the necessary large distribute the maintenance work in the individual rooms or for the individual rooms.

One has been in bed rooms like this for many years

passed over to simplify the overview of the installation by that so-called bed room light strips are

Utilities

sees in which all / for those arranged on the light strip Consumers such as lights, nurse calls, radio sockets, etc. are housed. Here are these Light strips are designed in such a way that individual elements assigned to the respective beds can also be easily removed without affecting the supply of the other beds.

Such light strips have a connection part with connection terminals in order to take along the electrical lines coming to it from the outside to connect the electrical lines laid within the light band. These lines are only used for supply

in and

the / on the Lichband arranged electrical consumers. the Securing these lines of the light strip is usually carried out in the floor distribution concerned. All The rest of the electrical consumers in the relevant bed room are routed separately to the relevant bed room Lines fed, which are also arranged from outside of the bed room or sub-distributors or floor distributors and e.g. the supply of sockets on the wall opposite the beds, the Nafi cell lighting, Twilight lighting, hall lighting in the door area, etc. are used and to a considerable extent depending on the type of bed room can vary. For example, the expenditure on electrical consumers in rooms used for intensive care is for those who have recently been operated on considerably larger than in normal hospital rooms.

It is an object of the invention to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages. In particular, it is an object of the invention

/ η? η

to reduce and simplify the installation effort in such systems and to enable maintenance work and installation work more easily and clearly.

This object is achieved according to the invention by what is specified in claim 1 Features solved.

In general, it is appropriate and sufficient, per bed room to provide a single distributor. Since, in general, only a single type and voltage of heavy current is required is then only a single power line from a floor distributor to the distributor in the room in question or to lay a second line from a sub-distributor or in the case of additional emergency power supplies, so that the large number of lines previously laid in corridors and corridors leading to the rooms has been significantly reduced and the Installation work, the installation effort and the maintenance work and repairs are greatly simplified.

From such a distributor are in view of the relatively large number of heavy current consumers in the individual rooms In general, it is advisable to branch off two or more power circuits, which are fused for themselves within this room can be secured, which can preferably be arranged on or in the distributor. Another advantage is that In the event of malfunctions in the rooms, do not switch off the associated fuses in the floor distributors or must be switched off so that only consumers in the room concerned and not in other rooms are switched off will.

It can preferably be provided that all low-voltage lines including telephone lines, nurse call, radio, Room loudspeaker, presence lamp, reassurance light, or the like. of the relevant bed room from the

6098U / 0? U

or are branched off from the assigned distributors.

The bed room can be considered including its possibly existing Adjoining rooms are considered separately secured rooms. The invention therefore provides that for every room accruing distribution share from the large central distributors to take out in the corridors and to accommodate them in the rooms concerned, so that if necessary the large central

in the hallways
ral distributors / can be omitted entirely or at least can be reduced to smaller and less sub-distributors.

The invention is suitable for bed rooms for care and possibly. Treatment of sick people of all kinds and is preferably provided for rooms in which at least two are secured for themselves Power circuits are expediently provided or must be provided.

This enables all electrical work that occurs in such a separate room, including any adjoining rooms / can be done exclusively and only in this room, whereby aids such as ladders are generally not necessary, because you can easily arrange the distributor or distributors on or in walls so that they are accessible without the aid of ladders are. Traffic in the corridors and corridors of the building in question is also not hindered in any way.

It has been known for a long time and is common practice to have at least one so-called light band in such bed rooms to be provided. Such light bands are constructed in such a way that individual beds are also assigned to them Elements can be easily removed without the

care of the other beds suffers. Such light strips can have room light, reading light sockets and other consumers and carry and contain the supply lines assigned to them. Such light strips can also have non-electrical supply lines, such as gas lines. There are such light strips in very simple equipment, which only lights and, if necessary. Also some sockets, possibly. still have a nurse call, as well as more complex light strips, which have, for example, the general lighting, reading lighting, nurse call system, radio programs, sockets, oxygen lines, compressed air lines, etc. In intensive care rooms, cables for other monitoring devices are also housed in the light strip. Such light strips have different training. There are light strips that have a single-piece channel that can extend from one wall of the room to the other. Or light strips that are composed of load-bearing duct elements and can also extend over an entire wall from the front of the room to the end of the room, etc. The individual luminaire elements can be screwed, hung or otherwise attached to the ducts and possibly also other electrical and non-electrical consumers be arranged. The lines to the consumers arranged on the light band are laid in the channel or channels of the light band. Such lighting strips can as inserted into a recess in the wall light bands, flush with the wall mounted light tapes, held by spacers at a distance from the wall of channel-like light bands, and the like be formed..

All such light strips have a connection part at one end, on which the lines laid in the light strip are all Kind to be connected to the supply lines to the light strip. Proceeding from such light strips, according to the invention,

admittedly be provided that the distributor in the connection part of a such a light band is arranged, i.e. that all terminals,

Fuses and, if necessary, other electrical devices, etc. of the distributor housed in the connector are. The interior of this connection part can expediently be closed by one or more covers or flaps so that by removing or opening the cover (s) or flaps, the terminals, electrical devices, etc. of the distributor are accessible, preferably the fuses located in it by a covering only them Flap are covered.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front view of a section arranged on a wall of a bed room shown light band with a distributor provided according to the invention,

FIG. 2 shows an insight into the distributor of FIG. 1 after its front cover has been removed,

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the distribution of the single Power supply line to two power circuits in the distributor shown in Fig. 2.

The light band Io shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has constant Width and has at its end shown an elongated, box-shaped connecting part 11, to which a is about the remaining length of the light band extending, if necessary. In separate channels subdivided channel for the from Connector 11 coming supply lines connects to which some of those accommodated in the room in question

electrical consumers, such as lights, sockets and the like. are arranged. In this exemplary embodiment, the transparent covers of a room light field 12 and 12 can be seen a reading light field 13. Other consumers attached to this light strip can be nurse call systems, twilight lights, Connections for headphones and telephone, sockets, oxygen withdrawal places, etc. be.

The light band Io is on a wall 8 of the bed containing Arranged space of a bed room, the adjoining rooms exclusively assigned to the bed room, such as the bathroom, toilet or the like.

In Fig. 2, two gas connections for oxygen and compressed air are denoted by 14, which are in a separate compartment 15 of the connection part 11 are arranged. The remaining part of the box-shaped connecting part separated from the compartment 15 by an intermediate wall 17 11 forms an electrical distributor 9 in which all branches for everyone in the bed room electrical consumers are made, and its interior is through a partition 16 in a low-voltage compartment 19 and a power compartment 2o divided. The total opening of this Connection part 11 of the light band Io is closed by three covers, namely, a cover 21 attached to the left-hand end, a centrally arranged, completely removable cover Lid 22 and a hinged lid 23 arranged on the right-hand side. Two are located behind the lid 23 Automatic circuit breakers 24 for two branched power circuits 25, 26, see also Fig. 3. In the compartment 2o are two terminal strips 27 for the power lines of the bed room and only for these and in compartment 19 a terminal strip 28 for all low-voltage lines (e.g. for telephone, nurse call, Radio) of the bed room and arranged only for this.
